This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by 10 readers including wildlife, sunrises, history, and remembrance.
Jim and Diana chose #46. Ringtail Cats live in arid environments and not often seen as they are nocturnal. This one was injured and living at the California Living Museum where I volunteered in Bakersfield in 1989. They presumably live at Bryce, but I haven’t seen one, yet.
Diane and Nigel chose #1109. Spring of 2009 after dropping a truckcamper in Kanab I hurried back south to Yarnell to haul the previous 5th-wheel to the North Rim Grand Canyon for the summer. Echo Cliffs run parallel to SR89 south between Lee’s Ferry and Flagstaff.
Rita chose #9121. These amazingly brilliant Augrabies flat lizards were everywhere, literally almost underfoot, while observing the waterfall at Augrabies Falls National Park, South Africa during March 2014. (I hope it’s just snakes you don’t like.
)
Lisa chose #5462. Sunrise over the Indian Ocean from Scottburgh Caravan Park, South Africa, a stop along the way during February 2014 travels.
Jeff chose #2977, “the number of lives lost in the 9/11 attacks.” During Yarnell Daze these men were working on a memorial for another loss, 19 firefighters in the Yarnell Hill fire. I pray for the safety of all firefighters especially in these current times and any of you living nearby or in the path of smoke.
Doris chose #8291. As close as I could zoom from the truck—not allowed to leave vehicle in a South African wildlife park—of the Karoo blue tulip which turned vast plains blue at Mountain Zebra National Park in March 2014.
Jodee and Bill chose #316. She likes to visit historical places—so may have been here—like Fort Misery at Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott, Arizona. Tells many stories of the old west.
Jo chose #5519, a place she may know in Scottburgh, South Africa. Same sunrise as above.
Yogi chose #5000, another SW teaser for him. While visiting the South Rim Grand Canyon for spring 2016 training I had an opportunity to see the canyon from different perspective like this shot from somewhere along the Hermit Road.
Sherry chose #7472. An attempt to shoot the full moon from Point Imperial overlook on the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park on 6-20-16.
My two choices left over from the last post hiking the hoodoos, first towards the bottom of the Queen’s Garden trail where it levels off and enters forest.
The second, still at the bottom now where the forest thins and shortly before heading up the Navajo Loop trail on the Wall Street side.
